Ah, Rare, the cornerstone of British humour. Their latest title, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a quirky racer/builder/platformer combo with a wonderfully wry streak that seems quite happy to poke fun at anyone and everyone. I spent a few hours with the game last night, and couldn’t help but laugh at the scrawny-looking Trophy guy, a new character that dishes out Trophies for completing levels in the quickest time. There’s even Achievements for picking up Trophies, the first one called “My First Trophy“, followed by arbitary further achievements like “More Trophies” and “Even More Trophies”. Cute.

I once sold a rare game on eBay.
Coincidence? I think not

I guess that’s how they see the PS3… as an “overly-competitive braggart”. Lol.

Yeah, I knew there was something I’d forgotten to mention. He’s looked down on quite a bit in the game, it’s all very sly and very funny.
